Once upon a time sports fans got involved in the game by shouting at the television screen, maybe shouting at each other and then shouting at the television screen again. Today, sports chat has simply exploded with the rise of "two-screen experience": live, online conversations with the widest possible sporting community. As of Tuesday 30th October, US sports fans have been able to get closer to the action via the new, free iOS application Fanatix. This is first and foremost a social app and personalised content aggregator, customised for sports fans: Imagine your NBA team's Youtube channel, Instagram, Twitter, blog, Facebook feeds, live scores and statistics all collected in one place for you and a crowds of sports nuts giving their two-cents' worth and chatting around the clock. Fanatix comes to the US from over the pond in the UK, where it was launched in October 2011. Needless to say, its user-base shot up this summer over the London Olympics and its arrival in the US chimes nicely with the start of the MLB World Series, NFL midseason mark and the new NBA season. Fanatix is currently available on iOS but anticipated to launch as an Android app in the near future.Sports betting has never been more interactive or more social. So whether you're a Premier League, NBA, or WGC kind of person, your betting experience has just become even more immersive.
Top betting organizations are making President Barack Obama the odds-on favorite to win re-election over Governor Mitt Romney. William Hill, the world's biggest bookmaker, put the odds at Obama 3/10, and Romney 5/2. For Betfair, the world's largest Internet betting exchange, it's Obama 1 /4 and Romney 11/4. But gamblers (both land-based and online), while concerned about the future of the country, are also focused on the future of gambling in the next administration. Both candidates, mindful that gambling is a revenue driver as well as entertainment provider, have not displayed overt opposition to online gambling. Romney is, of course, big business-friendly; while Obama is desperate for any measurs to stimulate the economy. Gambling issues on state ballots This election year, citizens of five states are preparing to vote on several gambling measures. In Arkansas, Ohio, Oregon, and Rhode Island, residents are to vote on amendments aimed, basically, at either allowing casino games where there was none or expanding existing casinos and the scope of their business operations. In Maryland, voters are being asked if video lottery outlets can also run table games. Bills on online poker may also be in the offing. Maryland gambling companies spend $72M on ballot fight In Maryland, proponents on both sides of Question 7 - which would allow the construction of an additional casino in Prince George's County and increase the types of games being played at existing casinos - are putting their money where their mouth is. To date, casino companies for and against Question 7 have put in$72 million into the fight, demonstrating the seriousness of this ballot initiative. Online gambling: What do regular folks think? Despite the gridlock, Washington has not been amiss in proposing online gambling regulatory bills. Expect lobbyists from big gaming companies to also get into the act. But what do regular Americans think? Surveys show that a majority favor legal and regulated online gambling. But while they like regulation, they also appreciate the rewards that revenue-generating businesses can bring to an uncertain economy. It only makes sense.

Online gambling firm Betable and three other social gaming companies have created an alliance, which they hope will provide competition to Zynga as it expands into real-money betting. Big deal for real-money gaming Betable announced that it had signed on Slingo, a manufacturer of virtual-wagering slots and bingo games with 54 million monthly uses, plus Digital Chocolate and Murka, which both also have experience in virtual slots. The three will use Betable's UK gambling license and technology. An existing partner of Betable, Seattle firm Big Fish Games, said earlier in the week that its casino-slot machine game has already begun taking real-money wagers from British-based customers for the first time. Competition for Zynga Zynga, the world's largest social gaming operator, partnered with Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment last week as part of its grand plan to enter the real-money gaming market. Its Farmville online video slot is set to be launched in the United Kingdom in January 2013. Other video game developers are now positioning themselves to enter the UK online gambling market and other countries in which their operations are legal. Watch this space, because the battle for top position will heat up once Zynga's operations get into full swing.

If you keep playing those hands, climbing up the leader-board to reach Top 20, you instantly qualify for a $2,000 GSOP (Grand Series of Poker) freefall. But if you don't quite make it there is always the $2,000 freefall; since all Push Em players qualify for that. You can't knock it. Push 'em Poker All that said, what exactly is Push Em Poker?

Push Em requires players to buy in for exactly five big blinds, increasing the chances of an early all-in confrontation. This makes for a more pacey and dynamic poker experience.
President Barack Obama just won his reelection bid. And as America has spoken, so has the gambling world. In fact, while opinion polls had declared the election a statistical dead heat, most online gambling sites had already given Obama favorable odds to win, even before polls had closed. And one Irish betting site, Paddy Power, had even called the race AND paid out $650K to Obama backers two days before the election! Are online bettors better predictors than opinion polls? While some have dubbed Paddy Power's move as a "publicity stunt" - it certainly gives one pause when professional pollsters say one thing and bettors say another. And the latter turns out to be right. For many betting sites, it was a done deal even before November 6, as shown by the amount of movement in money and potential payouts just days before the election. One such site, InTrade, lets users bet on the outcome of an event by purchasing a "contract" for the event. By Election Day, the amount of both Obama and Romney contracts bought showed the President with a 73.5 percent chance of winning against Romney's 26.5. Sports betting company puts its money where its mouth is! Just two days before the US voted, Paddy Power, Ireland's biggest bookmaker, was so confident of an Obama win that it made a "gutsy call" and took a huge risk - paying over $650,000 to customers who wagered on Obama. Its announcement in The Irish Times also received some public backlash for its supposedly racist tones. Publicity stunt? Or smart business move? Like many betting organizations, Paddy Power had seen the overall betting trend towards Obama. Its bettors had made the correct call - even if the professional pollsters had not.
